Red Deer women’s shelter to build new facility with $30 million federal investment
The Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter (CAWES) is finally able to move full steam ahead with an ambitious project which will see the construction of a brand new purpose-built facility.
The facility will serve women and children fleeing domestic violence, and who are looking to start their healing journey.
CAWES made the announcement on Wednesday, just less than a week after the funding was announced by the Government of Canada. The project, which includes 50 emergency shelter beds and 40 secure transitional housing units, is cause for a federal investment just shy of $30 million.
It isn’t disclosed where the 47,940 square foot facility will be, which is standard as far as protecting the privacy of its users.
